Samuel Onwuka

Software engineer·Full-stack·Lagos, Nigeria

I build web products front to back.

Marketplaces, booking platforms, internal dashboards, real-time consumer apps. Four years of it, nearly all client work — I'm usually the person hired when something has to exist, work properly, and be live by a date.
